Heads up! Trust your gut! These scammers are running wild!

My fellow Poshers - this has gotten out of hand. The scammers are out in full force! How NOT to get scammed: •Check user name/photo. If it’s a professional looking photo of a really pretty girl, but their user name is “dennis098765973”, it’s probably a scam. •check when the account was created. If it’s within a month or two, do additional checking. See below…. •check their closet - most of the scammers have just ONE item listed. Some have many, so keep reading below. •if they have several items, check the background of the photos in the listing. When I list my items, the photos are almost always in one of two rooms. Anyone seeing my closet can easily tell, these ARE my items, not stolen photos. •check feedback. If they have a whole closet full of designer goods, but NO lovenotes/feedback - it’s probably a scam. •do a quick search for the same item. Are other listings using the same photos? Scammers are swiping photos from other listings. If a search turns up several listings and the photos are identical - it’s a scam •ask the seller for a photo of the bag (or shoe/shirt/pants/jewelry) with todays date. NOTE: if the seller has a name card in the listings - make sure the name on the card matches the username/name on the “about page”. Believe it or not, scammers will 100% post a name card from another listing. •if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Shop safe, folks. Scammers amp up during the holiday season.
